Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

It is a combination of both! Weather permitting, we will be performing the ceremony outside under the big tree in front. If rain, we will still be outside but under a covered cobblestone area. Following the ceremony, the reception will take place inside the barn. (There will be heaters inside if it is too cold in the barn)

The dress code at the wedding will be semi-formal/dressy casual! Keep in mind that it is October here in the midwest and the weather can be unpredictable! Prepare for anything :)
